Who does CH. 35.184(b) not apply to?

The provision outlined in CH. 35.184(b) specifically indicates that certain categories do not fall under its regulations. The focus here is on the applicability of the chapter to specific groups. Applicants holding a restricted license from another jurisdiction are not subjected to this chapter’s requirements as it pertains to their certification or licensure.

This means that if an individual possesses a restricted license elsewhere, they have already navigated a different set of regulatory requirements that may not align with or require them to comply with those outlined in CH. 35.184(b) for Texas. It acknowledges the different frameworks and regulations that govern security licensure in various jurisdictions, thereby exempting them from overlapping requirements within the Texas legislation.

In contrast, applicants with military experience, those eligible for registration or a license in Texas, and current licensees are generally subject to the chapter's regulations, which aim to maintain consistency and ensure adherence to the standards set forth by the Texas Department of Public Safety's Private Security Bureau.
